This week I was in Houston as many of you know who follow me on Twitter know. I was taking part in the 2009 Marketing in The Oilfield Conference. My panel was Leverging Social Media. It was a great event and I had a really nice time. As I networked and meet interesting people, I started to notice something about the folks there. There were lots of comments like:
-I’m here to learn about Social Media
-I really don’t understand this stuff, but I am here to learn
-We are here to get more clients
-I am here to learn about brand management.
-We came to learn more about Twitter
Okay, you get the idea lots of different reasons for coming to this event. So I thought it would be interesting to ask you why your wanting to learn about Social Media. What is it you want to get out of it? Is it for your company? Your personal brand? Is there a message you want to get out? Why are you spending time learning about it?
Leave your thoughts, comments, insight in the comments please… lets have a discussion

I'm learning about social media for my personal brand. The more varied my knowledge about advertising and its uses, the better off I am.
I have many reasons to learn about Social Media!..I want to make this the way I earn money as well as meet so many people! I have my BIG dreams( equine assisted learning & coaching centres for disadvantaged kids/adults as well as Corporate training and on…) and as a single Mum, working from home is practical and preferable.. I am also having fun with it! (Learning to)Link it all together with Affiliate marketing and travel the world vicariously, as I used to do physically- and will do again to show my daughter..
